One Day Closer...
I got my pre-trip check-up (very late) today and it looks like I'm in good health to go. The doctor says I drink too much and she's a little concerned about my blood pressure, but nothing so serious as to keep me grounded. She insisted on having me take a prescription of Cipro with me, but I think the abundance of caution is a little much. Anyway, I also found a doctor to give me my shots (also WAY too late) on Tuesday, which avoids much of the expense of a travel clinic (when someone can explain to me modern private health insurance - why will they pay for the shots from an M.D., but not if it from a clinic...one more reason for a national health plan, I guess).
I also got my "official" approval from work this week. I want to give a shout out to Dianna M. and Heather M. (no relation) for being so accommodating about this trip - great people to work for!
Also, I got some great advice from my friend Diane B. today - her parents are from Vietnam and she transalted her mom's "can't-miss" suggestions for me. You rock, Diane.
Anyway, I'm spending the whole weekend packing, getting last minute items, and cleaning up my place, but the days are fast ticking away. You cannot imagine how excited I am!

Hey,
Chad came to visit and showed how to build links into my weblog. Yours is under the half-joking subheading "Atlantic Bloggers Alliance." (I think it's been long enough that I will get no Dr. J cracks for those initials.) And there's another stupid poll to vote in whille I finish my next big piece!! Everyone loves polls!!! Sure, I ripped off the whole structure from The Onion, but, as the Bard once said "there is nothing new under the sun."
Glad to hear the final prep is underway and going well. There is a certain nervousness in clearing the final hurdles, but it sounds like you've got a sound grip on the process.
